To get licensed as an in-home day care in Ohio, every room where children nap or sleep needs a code-compliant egress window. No window, no license — it is that simple. And if you are already operating, an unpermitted bedroom can put your existing license at risk.
What licensing requires
Ohio family child care rules require an approved emergency escape from every room used for child care. That means a window large enough for emergency exit — at least 5.7 square feet of clear opening, 20 inches wide and 24 inches tall minimum, with the sill no more than 44 inches off the floor — opening into a code-sized window well with proper drainage.

We pull the permit, install in one day, and the city inspector signs off on the work. You get documented, permitted, inspected proof to hand your licensing specialist — no gray areas, no callbacks from the state.
